Cantique Des Cantiqu 6:1-6

1 Où est allé ton bien-aimé, ô la plus belle des femmes? De quel côté est allé ton bien-aimé? Nous le chercherons avec toi.

2 Mon bien-aimé est descendu dans son verger, au parterre des plantes aromatiques, pour paître son troupeau dans les vergers, et pour cueillir des lis.

3 Je suis à mon bien-aimé, et mon bien-aimé est à moi; il paît son troupeau parmi les lis.

4 Ma bien-aimée, tu es belle comme Thirtsa, agréable comme Jérusalem, redoutable comme les armées qui marchent enseignes déployées.

5 Détourne de moi tes yeux; qu'ils ne me regardent point, car ils me troublent. Tes cheveux sont comme un troupeau de chèvres suspendues aux flancs de Galaad.

6 Tes dents sont comme un troupeau de brebis qui remontent du lavoir, qui sont toutes deux à deux: il n'en manque aucune.

Cantique Des Cantiqu 6:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SONG OF SOLOMON 6

The discourse between the church and the daughters of Jerusalem is continued in this chapter: they inquire whither her beloved was gone, in order to seek him with her, So 6:1; she tells them where he was gone, and for what purpose he went thither, and what he was doing there; and claims and asserts her interest in him, So 6:2,3; Then follows a commendation of the church by Christ, who admires her beauty, and describes her by her eyes, hair So 6:4-7; and prefers her to all others; being a singular and choice one to him, and the praise of others, So 6:8-10; and next he gives an account of his going into his garden, and his design in it, and of what happened to him there, So 6:11,12. And the chapter is concluded with a charge to the Shulamite, to turn herself, that she might be looked upon; which occasions a question, to which an answer is returned, So 6:13.
